What should have been a good weekend was 'literally' dampened by the second Signal. N. 8 typhoon in a week. Macau has been lucky enough to be relatively safe zone climate-wise. You wouldn't think that this week. Typhoon Hato devastated Macau, and well, there's a lot of damage that's still there. We were, fortunately, safe, but Leon and I had to huddle on the floor away from the windows for two hours, and then make our way to my parents for the rest of the week. I just got home today.

Condolences to everyone lost. 

Anyway, I just wanted to get that out of my system, because I've been thinking about it. Saturday went well for me. The night before, my sisters and I had a quiet games' night. Drinking was involved. It was fun! Hahah, and then we started Saturday late. I wore this simple, yet cool outfit. We ended the night with Annabelle: Creation, which made me forget how to breathe for its run time. Haha.

Then Sunday came, and so did the second typhoon. So really, I only had one day out. Sigh. Hopefully next week.

How was your weekend darlings? See you soon - Che

I think I would always have an affinity for ankle boots, especially pieces as lovely as these Barbie-girl pink boots I have on my feet. They are timeless, effortlessly stylish, and can easily complete outfits. I wear them all year, every year, from summer to winter! With the ending of August, I couldn't help but hope for cooler days to come, and these boots would fit nicely with my fall closet!

Anyways, I have no idea what compelled me to name this post what it's called, but I suppose it's the stacked boots and the short skort that reminded me of the 60's. As always, I didn't go all the way with the theme, hehe. A t-shirt made so much more sense, seeing as Macau's summer tends to feel like the inside of a pressure cooker. Yes I know I'm a hypocrite because those are disco-pink pleather booties on my feet, but what can I say? Fashion makes no sense...sometimes, hahaha.

Life, on the other hand, almost never seem to make sense for me.

What do I mean? Well, once again, I feel as if my life is heading for its next big checkpoint, and there's nothing I could do but hold on and try to enjoy the ride. There's been many of these little checkpoints in my twenty-seven years of life here in Macau, and I don't know if the fact that new challenges seem to spring up on me at every turn is a good thing, or is it time for me to rethink my priorities? I barely have time to breathe in between all the changes that always seem to happen to me.

Here's hoping for the best, I guess.

How was your weekend? Hopefully not as profound as mine? Hahaha.

Let me know in the comments! Till next time, lovelies. - Che

And I am back, once again bearing news of our fave retail giant, H&M. They have just unveiled the latest H&M Studio collection for Fall 2017, and needless to say, I am once again hooked! The collection is all comfy, wearable pieces with just enough details to be interesting, like a deconstructed white shirt, or a waistcoat-turtleneck hybrid I was just itching to rip off the mannequin. Expect wacky layering this autumn from yours truly. Gosh I want Fall now.

I was also very pleasantly surprised at their Men's collection. There were so many pieces I was just itching to snatch and go. Gosh, pleather trousers and a blazing orange sweater, I need those in my life! I'm actually already considering what to get when this collection drops.

Finally, the PR team once again outdid themselves with our media lunch, this time at the 102nd floor of Ritz-Carlton HK. Yes you read right on the floor! Restaurant Tosca has the most breathtaking view, and delicious food. Highly recommended for all of you looking to splurge. 

Kudos to the H&M team for another amazing event! Till the next one.

For all us Macau locals, the collection drops 14/September at HK flagship stores and some exclusive pieces online here: H&M Online Store Macau

Are you as excited as I am for this to drop? Let me know in the comments below! - Che

It started on Saturday with an early brunch session with my girlfriends at Portofino. It was fun, and I realised that I haven't seen these people in a while, so it was very fun. And then there was Sunday, my parents' 30th anniversary. 30th, darlings, plus 10 years of dating. Like....wow. That's long. That's very long. They're still as cringy and romantic as teenagers sometimes, but I guess I have to be happy for them. Hahaha. Oh, and we finally went bowling. I almost won, then my dad did -.-

Anyways, here's my Sunday outfit. A very simple outfit in a color that some people have come to associate with me (which is awesome), red, as well as a pair of shoes that have not seen the light of day in a while. I love me some regular sneakers, but these add height, and make me look so tall. I still love them.

So that was my weekend, how was yours? Let me know - Che

And here's my final entry to our sudden-yet-welcome European adventure. There's supposed to be a lot more pictures, but wouldn't you believe it - I lost my phone. Day 2 in Dubrovnik went a whole lot better than day 1, the start, at least.

Carla and I decided another trip to the beach was in order, but we weren't particularly taken with Banje Beach, which was crowded. Which is why we found ourselves at noontime in a public bus trying to find Casablanca, which, as far as Casablanca beaches went, was damn near perfect. The beach was crowded, but no as crowded, and since we were on holiday, we bought ourselves a beach bed to lounge in for a total of 5 hours. Yes, darlings, we spent 5 hours alternating between sleeping and impulsively jumping into the very blue, very clear, Adriatic Sea. Perfection. True perfection.

Then we headed back, went for a short souvenir hunt, and finally ended the night with the best party I have ever been in my life. A pub crawl. Carla and I may not be big on group tours, but I find myself itching to try one of these again. I have snippets of the night but not much else. Not enough to find my phone. Boo! Well, my mood went downhill after that.

But in any case, other than that, Dubrovnik was a dream from start to finish. Beautiful beyond compare and with enough activities to have kept us going for another few days. Two days was not enough, and until now, I find myself wishing I could go back, if only to jump into the Adriatic again. Because damn, that blue in the photos, I'm telling you, it doesn't do it justice!

Until my next adventure, lovelies! - Che
